miHoYo's New Game Heads to Switch 2, But Fans Can't Forget Genshin

miHoYo announced its new title Star Valley will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, but the comments section is all about Genshin Impact's long-lost Switch version.

Well, this is awkward. miHoYo just officially announced that its new game Star Valley is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027, but the comment section had other ideas. Instead of celebrating the news, fans immediately flooded the replies with one burning question: what about Genshin Impact?

If you remember, miHoYo first revealed way back in 2020 that Genshin Impact would be coming to Nintendo Switch. Six years later, that version still hasn't seen the light of day. No updates, no release window, nothing. So when the studio casually dropped a Switch 2 announcement for a different game, you can bet players weren't going to let that slide.

One comment summed up the mood perfectly: "Hey! Aren't you forgetting a certain game? It's been 'coming soon' for six years now..." Another player chimed in with a more resigned tone: "Genshin's Switch version has been in development for years. It's probably going to be delayed again."

Some fans were genuinely surprised to see miHoYo and Nintendo interacting again at all. "Since the Genshin Switch trailer, miHoYo and Nintendo haven't crossed paths," one wrote. "Seeing the Switch 2 logo in this new trailer feels really fresh. I thought the possibility of miHoYo making games for Nintendo platforms was gone, so now I'm actually relieved."

Of course, plenty of players took the opportunity to playfully pressure the developer. Comments like "You said it, right? I'm writing this down!" and "So... what about that relic from six years ago...? I'll take this as your written promise, okay? I trust you!" filled the thread. It's the kind of friendly nagging that only comes from a community that genuinely cares.

Others couldn't help but note that miHoYo chose to push Star Valley forward instead of finally delivering on Genshin Impact for Switch. It's a bittersweet feeling for longtime fans who've been waiting since the original announcement.

Star Valley is set to arrive on Switch 2 in 2027, and while that's exciting news, the elephant in the room remains. Will we ever see Genshin Impact on a Nintendo console? For now, all we can do is wait and maybe leave a few more comments. What do you think—is it time for miHoYo to finally address the Genshin Switch situation? Let us know in the comments!
